Rainy Ride

So night before last Liz and I went riding on Kolijah and Orion. :) It was rainy and wet, but fun.

Liz surprised me with an early Christmas present: a saddle rack for my bareback saddle (and any future saddles) and a bracelet made with hair from Orion's tail. :)

It was rainy and chilly, but it was fun. We talked about a lot of "real world" stuff. The more time that passes, the more I have to really think and figure out for sure what I want to do with my life. Right now it's vet school, and I'm okay with that....but I want to something that I'm excited about every day (or at least close to it). I love working with horses, and the science behind everything is vastly interesting to me. I love learning about things I can do to help them. It was a lot of fun and very interesting learning a lot of the different things that I had to research when I found out the specific tendons that Orion had sprained before I got him. I loved what I was doing when I was rehabbing him.

I just feel like I need to experience more before I know what I really want. The nice thing about a bachelor's in biology is that I'll be able to do a lot of stuff with it once I have it. Narrowing it down to one thing is extremely hard though. I would love to do something with training, but unless I was amazing at it and had tons of people bringing me their horses, there's no way I could do that for a living and still be able to pay off my college loans (my school costs around $30,000 per year).

I bought a couple of books that finally came last week have a ton of horse related careers and schools. I'm hoping it will give me some more ideas, to at least consider.
